Saturday we got up early to go hiking with Alan and Kathy Whetton. Cindy and Kathy go walking each day during the summer so they decide to have the husbands tag along and hike with them. Alan and Kathy's son Chris and his wife Daisy also came along with us. We went up the back road through Mantua to Inspiration Point. There were not too many people there in the morning other than some kids who had stayed the night and thought they could race down the road because no one should be there. They came around a corner traveling way too fast and almost hit us head on. Once we got to the top we started our hike to Ben Lomand Peak.
Along the way we came across maybe twenty Mountain Goats.
There were small babies in the group and we watched while they moved among the cliffs and in turn they watched us.
The wild flowers were in bloom and it was really pretty.
We continued on to the peak and made it before noon.
We had lunch, flashed mirrors from the peak to Shannon at her house, and looked at some more Mountain Goats below the peak.
It is a wonderful view from the peak of the entire region.
We posed in front of the plaque that I helped install back in 1976. It was then time to head back to the car. Along the way back we watched a guy who was hang gliding. Sometimes he would be level with us then ride the air currents above us and then go below our level but he was just gliding along.
